I hate to say it, but I just realized - Trump and his administration has released more of the Epstein files than the Democrats did.

Biden's administration had the files too, and they didn't even release the heavily censored (and definitely selective) version the Trump admin has released so far.

Why?

And I realized this is probably why she voted Trump a second time. Yeah, it was still a very stupid vote - he's definitely not going to release anything fully incriminating, especially to himself. But why didn't the Democrats release something? Would have taken down Trump's whole campaign trail speech of releasing the files too.

And in that context, I could see her voting for the person who says they will out of desperation, if only because they're talking about it. Even if she knew it's unlikely, to her it was probably just very slightly more likely something would come out of it compared to the side that wasn't campaigning on releasing the files.

Agree with this analysis. Ro Khana and Thomas Massie should run for president and VP as a unity ticket to reclaim democracy and prosecute the Epstein class.
